The "Real" Effectiveness of Collagen & Elastin in Stretch Marks Treatment

by Julie Whyte

Stretch mark removal treatments range from the maddeningly inefficient to the truly successful. Among the successful treatments for stretch mark removal are products that both get rid of damaged cells and stimulate the regeneration of new collagen and elastin fibers, and laser surgery.

Laser surgery is, of course, both expensive and risky, and it's use is almost always unnecessary. You've surely heard the words collagen and elastin before. Chances are you've seen these components listed on a bottle of your skin lotion. Collagen, a protein naturally produced inside the human body, it's the building block of skin, and it confers skin its wonderful ability to bind together. However collagen molecules are too thick to be able to permeate the skin. Collagen cells must be produced from the inside to form part of the structure of your skin.

Elastin, likewise, is a protein found in the skin. It gives skin elasticity. By increasing your body's ability to regenerate collagen and elastin you improve the skin's capacity to remain flexible, and increase the thickness of the epidermal layer. The result is a softer and more evenly pigmented skin.

Several stretch mark products claim to rely on their content of collagen and elastin. Sadly none of them do more than temporarily attract moisture to your skin. The potency of a stretch mark removal product depends on the ingredients that truly affect your body's ability to both accelerate the synthesis of collagen and elastin cells and to get rid of the skin cells that have been damaged by an over-stretching of the collagen and elastin fibers.

Stretch Mark Solutions with a Natural Ingredient

Laser stretch mark surgeries seem progressive but the only thing laser treatments will help is the doctor's bank account. Although some doctors state lasers are effective in abating stretch marks, there is no record to support this. Many plastic surgeons think that lasers are useless. While lasers are capable of removing and breaking down scars, they do not principally repair tissues. Impartial research have shown no improvement in stretch marks after laser treatment.

Dermabrasion is a scar treatment used to abate stretch marks but there is a huge concern associated with this scar removal method. Dermabrasion removes the superficial layers of skin in order to heal scarring and help the body renew skin with fresh ingredients. First of all, it is very agonizing and it is not the best stretch mark treatment because of the fact stretch mark scars are submerged in the skin, not on the superficial layer. Dermabrasion does not function deep enough into the skin to help repair stretch marks.

Surgery for stretch marks is costly and exhorbitant. It can leave your skin inflamed for up to a month after the procedure. A majority of the time, surgical procedures are not covered by your insurance company so it comes straight out of your pocket. Why keep spending thousands of dollars when you can apply a stretch mark product full of biological ingredients that renders the same results? The cream will strengthen your skin and naturally repair stretch marks.

Products that contain natural ingredients utilize natural activators from your body's inner regenerative processes to avoid and eliminate stretch marks. They stimulate and control the replacement of damaged skin with new healthy cells.

With proper use (2 times a day for a period of time depending on how old and deep the blemishes are) creams that contain natural ingredients exfoliate damaged cells, reducing and even eliminating all traces of stretch marks.
